Help on a Blue Bear
Yar!, that's what I'm looking for. I'm not sure what are the optimal options for a character who confined by some rather strict limitations.
So I bet some of you are scratching your paws thinking , what the hellena is a "Blue_Bear" . I confess!, I just made that up. :crazyeyes:
What I'm looking to do is make a bear druid because I feel that Bears and having shockwave is simply better then picking one of them skinny pups builds :wink:. This bear is only allowed to use Normal (white) and Blue (magics) items. This will be a hardcore character who will be required to solo it's way thru the entire game. All wp's must be collected and all quests completed. In Frodo style, there is to be one allowance made: At lvl 45 I will allow this character to use ravenfrost ring (cbf)(ooo shiny!).
What I'm not sure about is what build I shall use. I have already shopped a fool's kris of swiftness and 300%Cruel Great maul of quickness which recvd 2 sheal runes after quest socketing(80ias). I also have a 120% ias military pick I can steal from my bear sorc if going fireclaw. (6 shealed)
I was considering the Town dump build with less in lycanth, and more in summons stuff.
Fireclaw also looks pretty appealing adding large amounts of ar and fire damage. I'd include a few in maul for the phy damage and charge up.
If I went with the bear summoner, what's the general consensus on ravens? It would seem like having these would add a great deal of saftey with it's blind.
roughly thinking:
w/+3 skills
10 in lycanth
5-6 in shockwave
11 in Maul for an even 200% damage boost
1 hunger
2 in ravens for 5 total
2 in spirit wolves for 5 total
20 HOW
20 Dires
20 Grizz
1 in Carrion vine
1 in poison creeper
total of 99 skill points
Done around 85-87 (probably higher then I'll end up)
My tentative Fireclaw would look something like:
+3 skills
10-14 lycanth
20 fireclaw
1 hunger
3 shockwave
20 volcano
20 fissure
10 Firestorm
1 sage
2 raven
2 spirit wolves
1 carrion, 1 poison creeper (pre req)
What do you guys suggest?
